Corruption and betrayal within the government tore the nation apart, plunging it into a relentless civil war-not of weapons, but of words. Lies clashed with truth, propaganda poisoned minds, and loyalty became a currency bought and sold. The battle raged in whispers and headlines, turning neighbors into enemies and a nation into a battlefield of deceit.On top of this, a spoiled heir of a former strongman throws a tantrum as an old man cuts him down, refusing to let him prance atop his lofty, borrowed throne.
